That is exactly why this is now an issue energizing the pro-choice side.
It will be seen as a probing attack on ROE, and the appointment of another justice or two could move the court to where ROE is either overturned or gutted.
This issue was almost completely in the background in 2000 and 2004 for pro-choice voters, I think this moves it into the foreground in 2008.
